Conservation of mass and energy doesn't mean much to them considering they can shrink a starship down to christmas ornament size and vice versa with a snap of the fingers. As for motivations, just to show the incredulous shmucks out there just how awesome they are? They aren't portrayed as the most modest species within Trek after all.
Also, the Dyson Sphere doesn't represent an "astronomical inaccuracy", more some sort of inexplicable feat of engineering. If you want a true astronomical mishap try the quasar that inexplicably shows up within the Milky Way galaxy in episode The Galileo Seven. Quasars, in case you don't know, are galaxy sized stellar phenomena themselves. At least the remastered episodes made it look a bit more like a real quasar instead of some indefinable lump of gas.
well, at least you bring up something other than speculations.
sure they seam brake conservation of mass and energy, but that dose not mean they just break it, they most likely bypass it or, as far as we know, there's more to it than we know, and its neither. anyways, i didn't see hundreds of spaceships full of people that are all like "oh my god, a DYSON SPHERE!" there's no one around. you might think that if they wanted to show off, they'd make it in a place and time when more people can actually see it, and NOT crash into it or be sucked into it for no apparent reason.
and it is an astronomical inaccuracy. the shear amount of resources, how the sun stays in the middle, not to mention that its somehow illuminated from the outside.
